Bag Check

A bag check area will be provided in the Community Village near the start/finish line.

Mark your bag clearly with your name and race number, and please try to keep personal items to a minimum to ensure safety.

Medical First Aid Stations

Medical first aid stations will be located at various points along the course and at the finish line.

Strollers

The use of strollers / jogging strollers while running is discouraged, however, as a children’s hospital event, we understand strollers, wheelchairs and running chairs are a natural feature, especially for the 1-Mile Fun Run. Please note, the route can be congested and a lap race will have runners of many different paces in both directions. If a stroller/chair is needed during the race, the stroller/chair must yield to runners at all points of the race. This may require coming to a complete stop. In addition, the course has uneven surfaces, grass surfaces, and curbs. It is possible that strollers/chairs will not be allowed on certain areas of the baseball field, if conditions prohibit it. The Race Director reserves the right to prohibit strollers/chairs at any point of the race if they become a safety issue or impede the progress of the race.

Crossing the Finish Line

There is a cut off time for the 55K, 30K, and Relay Team races. Participants will not be allowed to start a lap after 2:00 p.m., and the course will close at 3:00 p.m. no matter where someone is on the route. At 3:00 p.m., the finish line, results and course support will close.

Family members who aren't registered are not allowed to run across the finish line with runners. Only officially registered participants, volunteers, and race officials are allowed on the course. If you do not have a race number, volunteer t-shirt, or race official race credentials, you will be asked to leave the course.

Post-Race Events

Enjoy the fun atmosphere in the Community Village on the baseball field with free family-friendly activities and entertainment from 9 am to 1 pm, rain or shine. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.

Coolers and Grills

Registered runners particpating in the event may bring one (1) small cooler (may not exceed 60 qt size). Alcohol is strictly prohibited. All coolers will be searched upon event entry. Coolers in violation of size or content will not be allowed to enter the event. Due to safety and security, grills, crockpots and other devices that require flame or electric for heat are not allowed in the event area. Coolers are prohibited for spectators.

Lost & Found

Lost and Found is located at the registration tent. Items will be held for 30 days post-race and then donated to a local charity. To locate your lost items after the event, please email to: wolfsonschildrens@bmcjax.com.
